A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

So you can escape the real world into Zuckerbergs weirdo world where he can profit from watching and manipulating you?

Strong pass. I'm sitting on my lawn having an icecream. Fuck you Zuckerberg.

I was thinking 'to escape from what?', but then I realized I was silly.
